It has been known for decades that CO poisoning can produce lasting health harm, mainly through its destructive effects on the central nervous system. Some studies found that 25-40% of people died during acute exposure, while 15-40% of the survivors suffered immediate or delayed neuropsychological deficit.

Now, an emerging body of evidence suggests that longer exposures to lower levels of CO, ie. chronic CO poisoning, are capable of producing a myriad of debilitating residual effects that may continue for days, weeks, months and even years. Keep watching this site for new information on this topic.

Note: Another book designed to complete coverage of the topic (ie. CO) is in the works. It will complement, but not replace, Carbon Monoxide (1996) and Carbon Monoxide Toxicity (2000). Look for it late in 2006, or early 2007.

Find out everything you ever wanted to know and more, in general and in detail about CO poisoning, here at CO Headquarters. This is a NEW, Continually Expanding expert site, developed for use by the lay person and professional alike. Watch in future weeks as other new materials are added which will make it even more valuable.

As a public service, Dr. Penney is available to make presentations on carbon monoxide and health in person at your school, company, civic organization, fire protection organization, etc. To discuss arrangements, he can be reached at (231) 882-0204.
